I’m trying to reinstall OS have wiped the hard drive (there is a recovery hard drive I can’t seem to access), seem to be stuck in a loop accessing an Apple ID, (to reinstall OS) have tried a few different Apple IDs but can’t get past this point - Any suggestions very appreciated thank you
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Have you tried restarting while holding down the command - R key so you are booted into the Recovery Partition?
See some other options in the article below.

Hi Eric thanks for your reply i appreciate it
Yes, I have held down the command - R key so am booted into the Recovery Partition
I can use this to erase the Hard Drive (except what appears to be a partition with an OS reinstaller on it which i can't erase)
After erasing i go to reinstall OS and then get stuck in a loop on the access Apple App Store page.. (to redownload OS i presume), wont get past that screen just loops around and have tried with a few different Apple IDs
cheers, Dan
See if anything here helps.
